This invention relates to a method of decorating transparentcontainers,such as bottles of any shape and formwhich may be used formany decorative purposes such as 5 lamp stands or merely as an ornament.in

The accompanyingdrawingsxillustrateby way of example, a decorate'd transparentcontainer, and the various; tools 'r'equired to produce the decorationsand the: manner in which they are produced. a "so Figure 1 shows adecorated.bottle..; 3.

This formds. securedby section of the.de ratedet ne wa la In accordance with my invention'I. preferably use atransparent or translucent containerof glass or other material which maybe ofany shape whatever and; may-haveindentation's or otherconfigurations inthe'wall .45 surface of the container as desired. "Thecontainer may be a. narrow ;neck bottle. or

r a large open mouth bottle .ofa circular, oval,

square orany other shape:

ct consists of 7 the developm n of effective an e 'ci nt o lawhe eby. V

. have' varying tubelopenings in order toasand configurations of thedecoration. The colored material which I have found preferably is finegrain sand which hasv been previously colored with water colors or someother coloring matter. The natural color 015 sand itself or of coloredstone crushed andground to the desired granular size or any othermaterial may be used to secure the various colors. The sand may be ofany degree of fineness but the best results are secured if a finetextured sand is used, since finegrained sand flows more easily andaffords a more finished appearance to the decoration. v r

The manner in which the container is decoratedwill now be described. Afunnel v Qhaving a long tube 3 extending therefrom,

hasthe lower end 4 bent so that the open "end of the tube projects.substantially in. a @horizontal direction and extends some distance fromthe axis of the tube. Funnels of various sizes may be used and whichsist in controlling the quantit of colored sand which pours from theunnel. -The funnel is inserted within the neck of the bottleand a smallcenter mound 5 of sand is poured. This may be distributed to form auniform unbroken and level line around the bottle shown by the shortsections 6- of straight line top surface; in Figure 1. This .yline mayremain as a level straight line. or

it maybe altered'to take any form. The manner in which this uniform lineisbro- {ken tov form the downwardly extending points-24 will bedescribed presently.

rations are secured with the'funnel only,

-.dispos-ing the nozzle of the bent-tube of the funnel atthe centeroverandin tact, iii-desired, the mound 5 and sand of a differentcolorfromvthat ,forming the first layer, is poured into the funnel. andthetube is brought radially to the container wall but should. notcontacttherewith. Thesand .poursfrom the-nozzle until a moundvis formed,the apex of which is approximately ev lw i ht n z le- T e y g in layersin any desired manner to secure any desired design.

2. A method of producing upon a trans parent surface a decorative designin granular or powdered material containing portions of different colorscomprising depositing material of one color against the transparentsurface and material of another color above the first material andagainst the transparent surface and causing portions from the uppermaterial of a color to occupy areas upon the transparent surfaceoccupied by material of the other color by causing the displacement ofthe lower material adjacent the upper material and extending thedisplacement upon the transparent surface to conform to the figure ordesign desired whereby gravity forces the upper material into thedisplaced area to form the design or figure in the second material.

3. A method of producing upon a transparent surface a decorative designin free flowing granular or powdered material containing portions ofdifferent colors comprising depositing material of one color against thetransparent surface, then depositing material of another color above andupon the first material and against the transparent surface, displacingportions of the first material at the point where the two materialscontact with each other at the transparent surface thereby causingportions of one material to occupy areas against the transparent surfacewhich were occupied by the material of the other color and the displacedmaterial being heldin place by the other material, and extending thedisplacement of the first material against the transparent surface toconform to the desired figure or design.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
